I do occasionally bake from scratch, it’s just that usually I’m too lazy, which is what last weeks Baking With Kim showed you.

Today I made scones from the Edmonds Cookbook. I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong but scones are always SO messy when I make them! I end up with half the mixture lodged under my nails. It’s worth it for the end product though.

Cut 75g of butter into 3 cups of flour + 6 teaspoons of baking powder + 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Mix in 1 – 1+1/2 cups of milk. Knead out the scone dough and cut into 12 pieces. Place in a 220°C oven for 10 minutes or until they’re golden.

While the scones are cooking prepare the all important toppings. Whip that cream, it’s the reason I make scones!

The finished product. Topped with The Boys mums home made jam and whipped cream. Delicious!
